3. Reasoning of the Law

I wish I could have been able to talk with my lawyer a little bit more and really figure out all of my questions. He talked quite a bit about intellectual property which “refers to products of the human intellect that have commercial value that receive legal protection.” (P, C, &T pg. 4) This makes total sense as to why you would try and protect it because you want to make your own money, you don’t want someone else making money off of your idea. Plagiarism will happen, and it is only going to increase because of the internet and well frankly I feel like there aren’t too many things that someone hasn’t come up with already. Coming up with a new completely original design is very difficult, you must some how find out if what you are using has already been used in a different way or even in the same way.
“Copyrights are granted for original creative expressions produced by authors, composers, artist, designers, programmers, and similar creative individuals. Copyright law does not protect ideas ad facts, only the manner in which those ideas and facts express.” (P, C, &T pg. 5)
“Trademark law protects the rights of businesses who use distinctive names, designs, logos, slogans, or other signifiers to identify and distinguish their products and services.” (P, C, &T pg. 5)
